Swansea City are among a number of clubs to have discussed signing France striker Bafetimbi Gomis - as he arrives in London on Thursday for talks on his future.

The 28-year-old is due to hold talks with clubs after his contract ended with Lyon. West Ham, Sunderland, Swansea and Galatasaray are all linked with Gomis, who has scored 62 goals in 170 games for the French side.

Ex-Swansea City and Cardiff City bosses Malky Mackay and Michael Laudrup are short odds with bookmakers for the Southampton managerial job vacated by Mauricio Pochettino - but David Moyes barely gets a mention.

Lazio midfielder Joseph Minala has been cleared to resume his career after proving he's not a 42-year-old masquerading as a youth team player.

The Italian FA launched an investigation after an African football website claimed that Cameroon-born Minala was pretending to be 17 and had altered his passport to take 25 years of his actual birth date.

That led to an official investigation which saw him questioned by the league's federal prosecutor.

However a statement released by the Italian association on Wednesday confirmed that Minala has been cleared and is now free to resume his career.
